I think I like the naked version better than the R http://www.buell.com/en%5Fau/bikes/street/1125CR/ _________________ It's all part of the adventure!

Ergo's are laid over like the r, check out the overhead view of the bars! Horrendus!! Also they have stuffed the geometry of the SS by running the taller suspension as found on the TT model, including muffler. I had both the SS and TT and i can tel you as far as handling goe's there worlds apart! The taller mods make it push wide, a real pig! i ended up lowering mine back to SS height, and now it handels like a Buell! The US gets the old 08 SS, now called the scg12!! what a shame we won't se it here!!! No way would i buy an 09SS and think it will handle!! I'm seriously thinking going back to a Monster or Guzzi, with good re-sale!   _________________ Buell XB12STT Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:12 pm yool Bronze Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 13 Location: Adelaide Sprocket wrote: It's basically a 1125r with different bars and headlight!
